Thelema Mindset
Nimrod walked to the Bronze Gate, reached out and pressed his hand against it; it was icy cold to the touch.
He felt the space around him become gloomy, and he heard all sorts of unreal sounds.
The cries of infants, the screams of adults, the wails of the elderly...
A low, somber murmur filled his ears, tugging at his spirit.
The Primarch's eyes instantly turned pitch black and deep, his dark eyes expanding to cover his entire eyeballs, the whites of his eyes completely disappearing.
He entered a meditative state, becoming one with the transcendent "self," the infinite "self," and the cosmic "self."
The Primarch felt the "tremors" of the entire island, the "churning" of the Sea of Storms, and even the savagery and death of Fenris.
Nimrod instantly gained clarity about himself, casting aside all false voices.
After obtaining the Book of Thales, the Primarch began to comprehend the Mindset, just like Magnus, and has already grasped his own two-layered Mindset.
The first level of Mindset he grasped was the core philosophy of Thales' doctrine—"the True Will."
The sacred blueprint of the soul will transcend worldly desires, break through self-deception, and resonate with the will of the universe.
Nimrod pushed hard, and the Bronze Gate slowly opened.
The Morkai Temple was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
Even the Primarch, with its superhuman senses, can only see within a four-meter radius.
The temple's dome was covered with green vines.
He drew his Power Sword with his right hand, pressed his thumb against the Runic Rune, and a shimmering Disruption Field swirled around the blade.
The light shone into the Morkai Temple, extending his field of vision by a meter, and he saw a stone pillar carved with Runic Rune.
Nimrod took a step forward, and just as his foot was about to touch the ground, the vines on the ceiling came to life. Hundreds of vines, like giant pythons devouring people, shot towards him.
The Primarch swung his sword, using the fifth technique of "Osberh-Vaya," and slashed downwards.
A flash of blue light struck the "giant python".
The Disruption Field shredded hundreds of vines, and amidst the pervasive smell of burning, the vines were torn apart and turned into specks of green light.
The Primarch stepped forward and saw the blood-stained golden chalice, jewel-encrusted ritual implements, and an altar piled high with withered bones...
[The offerings made by the Fenrisian, who kill captives and offer them to the Great Wolf of Death when they enter the Temple of Morkai.]
Nimrod wielded his Power Sword, searching through the Morkai Temple. He found a shrine on the wall containing statues resembling the wolf brothers Freki and Geri of Leman Russ.
The statue was entirely black, but in my Spirit Sight, it shone with a deathly green light.
Nimrod also discovered several stone chambers with the words "Treasure Chamber" inscribed in the Juvik.
He pushed open one of the doors and went inside.
The cold, dark stone chamber was mostly empty, likely taken away by the Fenrisian found the Morkai Temple.
Inside the stone chamber, Nimrod saw pearls scattered on the floor, iron axes and spear blades on the weapon rack, and animal hides spread out...
The Treasure Chamber was likely donated by believers to Morkai.
Everything was a treasure to the Fenrisian.
Nimrod knew that compared to the weapons made of stone and ordinary sea monster bones that the Fenris tribe in the scattered islands were forced to use, iron axes and spearheads were far more precious weapons.
Even after Fenris returns to the Imperium, the only places where he can obtain these weapons, besides the continent of Asaheim, the "Space Wolves," are the Isles of the Iron Masters —another permanent landmark.
The tribe that possesses steel-made weapons will have an advantage in the brutal tribal wars.
After exploring the four stone chambers, Nimrod determined that the animal hides and pearls were of value to him.
He then found four stone chambers called Priest Chamber, and he pushed open the door of one of them and went inside.
Inside the stone chamber were twenty-four stone beds. The priests who served the Great Wolf of Death had long since been forced to leave when Kraken's Spire sank into the Sea of Storms, taking their faith in Morkai with them to the various tribes.
Following the Spirituality light, Nimrod found fourteen mirrors.
The Spirit Mirror, "Gravedigger," corresponds to Sequence 7, "Spirit Medium," and is the main ingredient for the potion.
Nimrod did not immediately move the potion ingredients into the "Nation of Disorder," for there was still some danger lurking within that temple.
He passed four Priest Chamber and continued onward.
The further you go in, the colder it gets, and the denser and thicker the vines become.
The Primarch swung its sword, slashing, sweeping, and striking, shredding every vine in its Disruption Field.
Nimrod finally arrived in front of a statue several meters tall.
A black Fenris wolf statue stands atop a bronze pedestal.
The black metal statue resembles a black hole that devours everything, and the lines carved by the craftsman are as realistic as real hair.
The fangs protruding from the Great Maw gleamed with a chilling light.
Its forepaws extend out and rest on the bronze base, like Fenrisian Wolf striding forward with its head held high.
Beside the sculpture's base, a pool exuding a chilling aura reflects a Distortion wolf's shadow.
As the ripples spread, you can see wolves in many different forms: pouncing, lurking, howling at the sky...
Nimrod's gaze swept over the statue and landed on the wolf's head.
The most striking difference between the male and female figures of the Morkai statue and other deities is that a bone mask covers the dark eyes of the Mokai statue.
The bone mask occupies about a quarter of the giant wolf's head and is covered with mysterious runes.
As Nimrod's gaze fell upon the mask, he felt as if he were confronting death itself.
A dim light spread rapidly from the Bronze Mask, and the uncut vines quickly decayed, rotted, withered, and died, losing their vitality in an instant.
Even the Primarch's superhuman body felt weary, as if he were traversing an endless swamp, his body entangled by thousands of icy, slippery tentacles, being dragged toward the dark ocean.
Terrifying Shriek and horrifying roars echoed incessantly in his ears. This was a mental attack capable of driving someone mad and causing them to lose their reason, instantly shattering the first layer of his Thelema Mindset that he had maintained.
The "True Will" has been blurred, Distortion, and replaced by a terrifying, illusory vision.
A bright flame suddenly erupted from Nimrod's spine, and he ascended into Thales' second Mindset— "Kundalini".
"Kundalini" originates from the energy control system of Thales' spiritual practice, which transforms physical energy into spiritual power.
The lingering terrifying Shriek and horrifying roars vanished instantly, but the creature's body remained entangled by countless tentacles.
Nimrod infused his Spirituality into the silver gauntlet on his left hand, and spoke with an air of authority.
Death is prohibited here!
The Sequence 6 Judge's "prohibition," triggered by the "Hand of Order," unleashes the power of the Sequence 1 level.
The burst of golden light tore apart countless tentacles.
Nimrod's body was no longer restrained; his superhuman physique instantly regained its freedom, and he leaped into the air.
He pressed the Runic Rune, deactivated the Disruption Field of the Power Sword, and retracted it to his waist.
Nimrod leaped to the wolf's head and reached out to remove the Bronze Mask.
The mask was in his hand, and an icy chill immediately spread throughout his body, accompanied by terrifying Shriek and horrified roars.
With a thought, Nimrod arrived at the Third Layer Space of the "Nation of Disorder".
He discarded the mask and used his Source Essence to establish a connection with this Mystical Item that resembled the "Death God" Pathway.
Upon returning to the real world, Nimrod immediately felt the chilling atmosphere that had permeated the entire temple gradually dissipate.
Could that mask be a manifestation of the real Morkai's corpse?
Was it made by someone, or did it form naturally?
Nimrod pondered for a moment without reaching a conclusion. Although Morkai had always been the god worshipped by the Fenrisian, he only existed in legends. No one had ever actually seen the Great Wolf of Death, at least not among the current survivors.
After sending all the Spirit Channeling artifacts to the "Nation of Disorder," he ordered the pearls, furs, and other items to be moved back to the spoils room of the Shadow of the Throne.
The ancient iron weapons were also sent back to the Shadow of the Throne for the Tech Sergeant to study, to see if there were any lessons to be learned.
After Nimrod looted all the treasures accumulated over thousands of years at Kraken's Spire, he received a summons from the Old Man in Yellow.
